One year anniversary in Cape Town
They say time flies when you’re having fun, and I think I just understood this cliché in a deeper sense than I did before. Moving to Cape Town started out as the biggest leap I’ve ever taken and it seems to fly by! I’ve had so many moments of pure bliss and many moments where I wondered if I made the right decision. Until you move to a different city, I don’t think you realize how little distance defines culture. I knew I was in for a culture shock but I thought that Joburg was pretty much around the corner, being a quick two-hour flight away from Cape Town, but…
3 Steps to a Balanced Life
I’ve been seeing a lot of posts lately and watched a couple dozen videos where the creators talk about these three steps and I think everyone can benefit from it. Instead of just sharing this with you, I’ve decided to apply these three steps to my daily routine and hopefully it will improve my life and help me find a greater sense of balance. The idea is to add to each day: Something for your body Something for you mind Something for you heart and soul There is no exact “thing” to do as each of us are different. The idea of having a tailor-made template to improve your life…
Happy New Year #2022
I say this every year, but I can’t believe we made it to another year! These past two years have been absolutely crazy with wearing a mask every time we leave the house to popping more vitamin pills than ever before. Working from home has become the new norm and it’s been absolutely fantastic in a lot of ways but also very testing. I am truly grateful for all of the milestones I’ve reached and the many check-ins over these trying times. Check-ins from family and friends and also the check-ins I’ve made with myself… I think to evaluate your life and really sit down and think about the journey…

Free things to do in Cape Town + Birthday Freebies in 2021
I spent my first birthday in Cape Town this year as an official resident so I wanted to make it special. I went all out and made an entire itinerary! Yes, I know how dramatic that is, but moving to this city was one of the biggest Bucket List items so it was necessary! I won’t make this post too long, so I will simply list the items and if you want more detail, head over to my YouTube channel where I vlogged every day of my special birthday weekend. So here it is: FREE THINGS TO DO IN CAPE TOWN ON YOUR BIRTHDAY OR IN YOUR BIRTHDAY MONTH Table…
Bucket list #54. Paragliding
It took us four attempts before the weather was finally ready for us to paraglide. It was one of the most incredible things I have ever done and would certainly do it again. The weather was beautiful on the other attempted days but because the wind was not blowing in the right direction, it just didn’t work out for us. It was pretty cold and windy the day we actually got to go, but I am super grateful for the incredible “out of this world” experience. Floating on the wind felt closer to my nature loving self than I ever have. It was a gift to be up there and…
The Cape Wheel + Two Oceans Aquarium
Had such a special day! I am not a fan of keeping any living creatures in captivity, but it was a gift to see them and learn more about them. These are free experiences that you get to do in Cape Town around your birthday! Watch the vlog here:
Canola Fields – Cape Town
Towards the end of the winter, it is the best time to take a drive out of the city and go to the Melkbosstrand flower fields. It is best in August as most of the fields are in bloom and you have an array of bright coloured flowers! In September they are usually cut and manufactured into different uses like cooking oils, etc. There are also pretty views and flowers at a lovely beach just around the corner from the fields. We ended up taking a few outfit changes and had a full photoshoot before having a picnic at the beach. Watch in here
Clay Cafe in the City + BoKaap Kombuis – Birthday Vlog
Open Air Cinema – The Galileo – Cape Town
My Free Cape Canopy Tour Experience
My sister and I booked to go ziplining in March this year and the great thing about the Canopy Tours is that you have a lifetime FREE Birthday Flight to any of the ones you’ve already done, within three days of your birthday. We’ve done the Canopy Tour in Magliesburg and then in Cape Town so I was able to accept the free-flying experience here in Cape Town for my birthday. It is in the Hottentots Holland mountains and honestly the best one I’ve done thus far! Please feel free to check on my YouTube video of the special day I had! Also please give me a follow if you’d…
